The log file location had been changed between the time that the backup was taken and the 'live' environment so I was lookin in the wrong location.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
We have a one-off backup of an Exchange 2010 server from around 40 days ago.<br />
<br />
I have it running in a Veeam SureBackup vlab environment and need to retrieve some Message Tracking logs from it. &nbsp;The server is configured to keep 30 days of logs.<br />
<br />
I am finding that when I try and look at the message tracking logs they are empty.<br />
<br />
I have a feeling that it may have something to do with either log truncation or the time on the VM purging the logs (the time/date on the VM updates to the current live time, even though it is a VM from 40 days ago).<br />
<br />
Interestingly, if I use Veeam explorer to browse the vbk, the folder which contains the &quot;Message Tracking Logs&quot; doesn't exist, suggesting that it is probably nothing to do with the time.<br />
<br />
Any ideas what is happening here? &nbsp;And how can I access the logs?

Hi all,

We have a one-off backup of an Exchange 2010 server from around 40 days ago.

I have it running in a Veeam SureBackup vlab environment and need to retrieve some Message Tracking logs from it.  The server is configured to keep 30 days of logs.

I am finding that when I try and look at the message tracking logs they are empty.

I have a feeling that it may have something to do with either log truncation or the time on the VM purging the logs (the time/date on the VM updates to the current live time, even though it is a VM from 40 days ago).

Interestingly, if I use Veeam explorer to browse the vbk, the folder which contains the "Message Tracking Logs" doesn't exist, suggesting that it is probably nothing to do with the time.

Any ideas what is happening here?  And how can I access the logs?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization
